NEW Domestic Violence Website Launched - www.hurt.net.au <http://www.hurt.net.au/>  

Media Statement 28/11/08

The Women's Council for Domestic and Family Violence Services (WA) launched HURT on Tuesday 25 November in conjunction with the states White Ribbon Day activities.

 HURT, an interactive virtual house, contains embedded video clips of women, children and men describing their experiences of domestic and family violence. This one of kind resource hopes to raise the curtain on the hidden devastation and turmoil of domestic and family violence, breaking the barrier of shame and silence that so often surrounds women's and children's experiences.

 The website invites viewers to explore a virtually constructed house from the perspective of any one of 27 characters linked to over 100 video clips. The people who appear in HURT are actors re-telling the stories of over 65 women, men and service providers who were interviewed to inform this project.

To view the website visit: www.hurt.net.au <http://www.hurt.net.au/>  

 A DVD training resource using some of the video clips that are contained within the website is currently being developed. For more information about this resource or to obtain a copy contact Nicole: 9420 7264 or policy at womenscouncil.com.au

Dear Suzette
 
I think this workshop would be of interest to some of the community psychology list members of which I am a member and the VU school of psychology. I have forwarded it to the first but will ask Heather, a community psychologist and lecturer at VU if she can forward to the psych school as I do not have the email for that group. 
 
Heather, could you please so this for Suzette? 
 
Suzette, you may also like to contact the Australian Psychological Society
 
Best wishes 
Vicky

Dear Vicky,

I thank you again for your very relevant feedback regarding my website.

An interesting dream-telling workshop (see attached) is coming up in 09.
Please could this be circulated within your appropriate networks?

Dr Sabar Rustomjee (Consultant Psychiatrist) has described this
Dream-telling workshop as incorporating 3 topics:

The one on the first day, the 21st February is on Dreamtelling-its 3 uses,
Informative, Formative and Transformative.

On the second day, there will be two workshops, viz Working
Psychotherapeutically during times of war.
Resolution of conflicts through creating a safe space for dialogue will be
discussed. Dr Friedman himself conducts weekly groups with Palestinians
and Israelis.

The last one will be on the topic of, understanding and treating disorders
which arisen from the stresses which are of a relational nature. Different
types of relationship disorders will be discussed. It will be of great use
to Supervisors in helping their trainees, or in peer group supervision, to
have a clear grasp of what is going on beneath the presenting symptom/s

Please contact her (see attached for contact details) if you need
available articles on the first and last
topic, as they are published.

If you have a few moments I would be very grateful if you could send me
details of how I can promote this workshop further within VU -  it's
always better to know appropriate people. Many thanks Vicky.

Yours sincerely,
Suzette
